Seeing that her mind was elsewhere, Hong Ye didn't say much more. She found a moment and whispered to Cui Ming, "Could it be that Miss is missing the Marquis?"
Cui Ming was also very busy today, troubled by the issues in the sewing room. She replied, "You know everything, don't you? Hurry and help Miss manage the accounts."
"Indeed..." Hong Ye couldn't help but frown, her voice growing a bit louder, "These shopkeepers are truly slick. They got caught red-handed by Miss last time. We thought they had become honest, but it turns out they're still up to their tricks. It fits the saying, 'a fool does not rest until the Yellow River is in his sight.' It'll be too late for regrets once they're replaced."
Qin Yuan, hearing her words, snapped back to reality and said, "I've seen it too. There are honest ones, but a few still harbor some wishful thinking."
